The Kathmandu Declaration was the concrete result of the two day conference on Gender and Democracy in Kathmandu. The leaders of the six major political parties in Nepal commit to work together towards equal representation of women in political parties.

After listening to the briefings on the Christainsborg Seminar on women in politics held in Copenhagen in September 2012, members of the six parties in the Joint Mechanism for Political Party Support in Nepal decided to hold a similar seminar in Nepal.

Our vision

The vision of the Danish Institute for Parties and Democracy is to contribute to the development of well-functioning democratic political parties, multi-party systems and other institutions as central stakeholders in the democratic culture of selected developing countries.
